Previous tutorials have shown the properties and characteristics of simple resistor-only and inductor-only AC circuits. We will now investigate the effects of combining the two components together.

When both terminals of resistors are respectively connected to each terminal of the other resistor or resistors, they are said to be connected in parallel. Resistors can be connected such that they ...

An array or bank of load resistors is often required for testing power products, characterization of solar panels, and many other applications that require evaluation under various well-defined loads.
